ADDENDUM NO. 1 Request for Quotation No. 6619-14-3044

Quotations are invited for the non-exclusive supply and delivery of Various Bagged Sand, Salt and Urea Ice Melt Products.

Revised Closing Date: Friday July 18, 2014 at 12:00 Noon (Local Time)

Please refer to the above Request for Quotation in your possession and be advised of the following revisions. QUESTIONS & ANSWERS Q1: On Schedule "A"Coarse grade Salt, I did not see a specification within the tender describing this, do you

have one? A1: Yes. Attached is Specification #001R-66FS. Q2: On Schedule "A" Pro Melt Ice Slicer, can you tell me what the approved equivalents are for this product? A2: The Vendor can bid any product they deem as equivalent. Our inspection group will then evaluate the product to

see if it is in fact equivalent. MM&S will not and/or cannot dictate what brand they put on their bid Q3: Can I bid Material No 800007924 De-Icer Magnesium Chloride in 22.68 Kg /50 lb. (48 Bags / Skid). The

requirement on the RFQ is 20 KG bag and we don’t have Magnesium Chloride available in 20 KG package size?

A3: Yes. The City's requirement is for a product that is equivalent to the product stated in the Schedule A – Price Form.

The packaging has to be 50lbs or less due to handling guidelines within the City of Toronto. Q4: Where can I find detailed specification 001R-66FS in the Quotation? It is mentioned in RFQ on page 15

section 10.1 that bidders must provide quote for products that meet or exceed the minimum specification requirement 001R-66FS. Total pages of the bid package are 46 in total that I downloaded from the City Website.

A4: Refer to answer A1 above. Q5: Can a vendor use City of Toronto as one of the references in the bid if in the past vendor has provided

services to the City. A5: Yes.

Bid sample(s) submitted must be equal or better than the following specifications: BID SAMPLE IDENTIFICATION

Bid samples submitted must be accompanied by temporarily or permanent Bid Sample Identification, either affixed or applied, written or printed, that states which Item(s) each bid sample represents against the price schedule(s). A bidder may submit the same bid sample for more than one item in the price schedule but the bid sample must still be accompanied by temporarily identification, either affixed or applied, written or printed, that states which set of Item(s) each bid sample represents against the price schedule(s). Note that for such situations, the sample must still meet the specifications of all referenced Items. The references used must be either as found in the price schedule or specifications, with specifications taking precedence where conflict arises.

Unless otherwise noted, bid samples submitted for evaluation must be the same item, same commodity, or same material that will be initially supplied and supplied later as and when required by the contract for the duration of the contract. Bid samples for evaluation that are not the same as the item, commodity or material that will be shipped initially, will not be accepted and will result in the item represented by bid sample being declared informal.
